e embodying my invention applied to a car window. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary ii'ice View of the strip adapted to be secured to one the rails of a. sash. 3 is transverse secti ot the upper e ash and strip shown in Fig.

i is n fragsiroilar to that one 15. ustreting a slightly inient of the weather strip n in the CiI'fiVlD S? Ii, indicates to 1 i i F 1 L window 1 :2, tee inner Sill o1 LmSS lower rail of 3, the lamb; 4, the'outer stoo; 5, the inner stop, and 5*, the inner curtain stop, which are of the usual construction.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, one Of the strips embodying my invention com rises Sn siporoximstely rectangular. portion adapt ed to poured to the inner stop 5, in any suitable manner, and completely incaso the on used surfaces of the same, and provided a litirgo 7, which extends outwardly to a point a proximately midway between the upper lower sashes and then is turned inwardly toward the center of the window and then back upon itself to afiord it zirting bend or strip 8. Slidably engage between the inner stop 5, and the parting strip 8, is the lower sash 9, having a resilient strip secured on the side rails thereof adapt cd to bear against the parting strip 8. As. shown, said resilient strip comprises, a Web 10, adapted to be rigidly secured to. the sash in any suitable manner, and a resilient, laterally ofi'sot portion 11, adapted to nor- 'rnsliy bear against the parting strip 8, to.

' ferczl or cut away at each end on its inner side to afford clearance for the parting strip and a horizontal groove extends for tie entire length of said lower rail, as shown in Figs. 1 and 8. Rigiclly secured in said groove is a, sealing strip comprising a relati eiy fiat strip of metal- 19, having the lateral edges 12, thereof flanged to ziil'ord a channel with sligbtlyjnturned edges to receive and firmly secure suitable packing material. For this purpose a narrow strip of Brussels carpet 13, or other suitable material (preferably havingo, nap) is engaged in said channel with the nap firmly bearing against the parting strip 8, resilient stri 11, and the upper rail of the lower sash to ibrcc the some inwardly against the portion 6, on the inner stop 5. ihis prevents rattling and effectually seals the space between the lower rail of the upper sash and the upper rail. of the lower sash, to prevent the admission of wind dust and rain.

The eonstruction disclosed in Fig. 4, is identical with that shown in Fig. 1, pt that he side rails of the lower sash are rebooted the outer side as indicated by 14, to receive that, part of the parting bend or strip 8. As shown also in this coir structimi, llie resilient strip or plate 15, is flat and bears against the parting strip 8, '(O the sides of the sash as before. Owing to the fact that the parting strip is containerl in the rebbet 1 1, it is not necessary to chenifer or rahhet the lower rail of the up per sash as in the construction. disclosed in Fig. 1. The sealing strip (which is similar to that disclosed in Fig. 1') is secured to said lower rail in any suitable manner and bears against the upper rail of the lower sash hold the same firmly againstthe portion 6, secured to the inside The operation is obvious f om the 0011- struction described. In installing the ole vice, as shown in Fig. 1, that part of the Weather strip which afi'orrls the parting strip 8, is positioned oiitside. of the inner sash and the outer sash is provided with arecess to receive. the strip 12,130 permit the some to bear with equal pressure upon the parting strip, resilient strip and the lower rail of the sash.

In the construction shown. in Fig. 4, the installation of the respective elements is practically the some as that (lisclosed in Fig. 1, with he exception that in this construction the stile of the Window provided with a recess to receive. the parting strip, theroh obviating the ends of '3 lower rail the upper to insure even pressure of the strip 12, upon the parting strip, resilient strip and.
